Special Announcement - Kickstarter

[LordEntrails]

If I get the newcomer - Ultimate on kickstarter, does that get me an ultimate key now, and then the FGU when it's available/beta?

No. Purchasing any level via the KS gets you no access to the current/classic (FGC) program.

What happens with a license you get from the KS is that sometime after the KS closes and following the fulfillment stage FGU Beta will become available. Probably sometime after July and before December. At that point you will get your FGU license key and access to download the Beta.

If you want to use FG now, then you can buy an ultimate FG license from the FG Store here, and then on the KS buy a Rookie - Ultimate. Or, you can subscribe to the Ultimate now, and then buy the KS Newcomer - Ultimate. There are other possibilities too, but those are the main ones.

Instead of recording the # of successes/failures of a single die rolled a certain number of times, would it be possible to do it for a group of dice? In Gurps, we don't roll a d20, but roll 3d6 instead, and try to roll under a target number. Would it be possible to roll 3d6 a certain amount of times(say 12 times), and spit out the number of times the results were above/under a certain target (say 10)? Something like, 12x(3d6)s10?

For the record (and sorry for writing this late) I am continuing to work on the Universal Die Roller (part of the DORCore) and it can already do everything you (and others) have requested. This is still in per-release, obviously.

Also obviously, I need to get my hands on FGU to work out what Moon's already covered and what I have to add (if anything). My plan, depending upon both my own needs and the general desires of the Community, is to release the UDR for FGC - but again, only if people actually ask for it.

Cheers

I am requesting feedback for a new tier and a modification/expansion to an existing tier.

1. Make a direct FGC Standard to FGU Ultimate tier for $100. No need to upgrade first and then back. No distinction from Rookie or Veteran.

2. Expand the Veteran Upgrade - Standard to also allow Lite license keys that were purchase before those were discontinued. The price would remain at $29 instead of $35 for a Newcomer.

Do those price points seem fair? Any concerns?

[Zacchaeus]

Both those sound good. The first one is much requested.

1. Seems very fair, given that taking an FGC Ultimate and then Rookie is about $160. You're giving up the ability to use FGC for $60.

2. Honestly, I thought you were already doing this.

... Any concerns?

Those seem to be good options. I only wonder if some folks will now be lowering their pledge from $135 to $100.

Probably some of that. I mostly want to make sure that I don't overlook some negative issue that some people might have.

The perpetually triggered and offended will always find something.
